Peter Garrett Online Forum

Federal Arts Minister Peter Garrett has launched an online forum to discuss Australia's Cultural Policy. In his speech to the National Press Club in October, the Minister identified three key themes for consideration:

1. Keeping culture strong; 2. Engaging the community; and 3. Powering the young.

These and other points are expanded on in the discussion framework, however this is not an exhaustive list. Use the web forum to talk about any cultural idea, issue or concern and help shape future policy.

The National Cultural Policy online forum will be open until 6pm Monday 1 February 2010. For more info, and to log onto the forum.

I lost all scant respect I held for Garrett when he defected from the Greens; the one political party that armed him with the tools to make an effective difference to people's lives. When he went to Labour, I cursed his name loudly then- and I point and laugh now at how hog-tied he has let his "ideals" become in order to follow Mini-Mao's party line. Sod him. "The Minister For Plastic Bags". He reaps what he sows.
